| Gwyneth Paltrow\'s personal trainer Lauren Roxburgh has explained why the star loves working out with a foam roller.
Gwyneth Paltrow likes to find new things to incorporate into her health and fitness regime.
The 42-year-old star recently showed off her toned and taut body on a Mexican beach, proving her figure is just as good as younger Hollywood starlets\'.
She\'s always been focused on healthy living and exercise and recently hired personal trainer Lauren Roxburgh, known as The Body Whisperer. Lauren is a big advocate of foam rollers, which she weaves into her Pilates and stretch routines.

"Gwyneth is incorporating this into her daily life and that\'s why it works. It focuses so much on healing and de-stressing, so it\'s just as much about the mind as well as the body," Lauren told British magazine Grazia.
"You can fit this into your busy day and do it yourself. Gwyneth likes to find new things to incorporate into her health and fitness regime; she looks great."
Kim Kardashian is also thought to be one of Lauren\'s A-list fans.
Explaining her exercise techniques, Lauren says she gets her clients to work out with a foam roller for ten - 15 minutes every day, with results seen after a month.
"It\'s all about alignment, posture and body awareness. The exercises on the foam roller help to release tension and blockages. I do a stretching style warm-up followed by a self-massage to get the lymphatic system going, releasing any tightness and tensions," she said.
Pilates-based moves are then used, which help to shape and sculpt the body.
"I don\'t like to call it a workout. It\'s more about self-care and self-healing. It\'s unlike other workouts such as spinning, which will give you a thicker waist because they don\'t extend the body into different positions," Lauren noted.

In addition to the women’s collection, the sportswear giant has also added a brand new S/S15 design to its popular running shoe range since the last three decades, Nike Air Max. Titled as Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Moire, the footwear has been made using a new outsole, which compared to the original, uses less material resulting in dramatically improved flexibility and reduced weight. The outsole features a synthetic suede made, laser-perforated, one-piece upper layering inspired by the Nike Air Zoom Moire.
The first-ever Nike Air Max 1 was made by the company’s designer Tinker Hatfield using the Nike Air technology , which had been in use since 1979.
Apart from the new Spring-2015 clothing and footwear collections, the brand has also unveiled the Nike Training Club App, a new athlete-led workout app that allows female athletes around the world to connect with their fitness community.
The app will enable the user to share her completed workout in the app’s sport feed, which her friends will be able to both ‘cheer’ and click into the workout to try it themselves.
Speaking about the app, Kerri Hoyt-Pack, VP of brand marketing, Nike women, said, “The Nike Training Club App is connecting our community of athletes like never before. Women will now be able to communicate with each other through the Nike sport feed, from organizing local group workouts to sending encouragement around the world.”
Founded in 1964, based near Beaverton, Oregon, Nike specializes in the designing, marketing and distributing of a wide variety of athletic footwear, apparels, equipment and accessories meant for an expansive range of sports and fitness activities.

“I am happy to showcase my collection in Hyderabad again. We love the city and draw inspiration from the culture the people display. We have received a lot of love from here in the past and hope that continues,” adds the master craftsman while addressing the event.
Created in blue orange hues of a macaw, and reds and yellows of rising sun, the bohemian and sophisticated line included lightweight daywear separates like dhoti skirts and lungi skirts as well as eveningwear pieces like bejewelled T-shirts with hand-painted gold kalis.
A m�lange of Indian craftsmanship with fit, finish and functionality of western clothing, the sheer silk, resham and tulle made bridal and couture line are based on draping techniques that are in-sync with body movements. The featured ensembles were belted sarees with stitched-in pleats and layered anarkali kurtas in shades of pink, jade, mauve and soft ivory.
The ocassionwear entries included zari, resham, makaish embroidery, chanderi cutwork, jamawar and Lucknawi chikankari embellished regal and festive lehengas, lehenga sarees, sarees, anarkalis, obi-belted bodices, dupattas and kurtas in tones of twinkling champagne, playful pinks, rich gold and passionate reds.
The menswear extravaganza showcased several ornately embroidered ensembles on an unconventional palette of gold, pistachio and deep orange. Replete with digitally printed Mughal motifs, zardozi work and Kanjeevaram, the collection showed jaal embroidered kurtas, Sherwanis, Bandhgalas, Bundis, Jodhpur pants, dhotis and pleated stoles.
The Mumbai-born couturier Tarun Tahiliani is known for his ability to infuse Indian craftsmanship and textile heritage with European tailored silhouette in his designs.
The Singh Twins’ work is a m�lange of many things- their Indian and British identities, eastern and western aesthetics, the personal and the political, social commentary with tongue in cheek humour. The highly decorated artists have been awarded the MBE (Member of the British Empire) and shown in the Smithsonian, the Mus�e Des Beaux Arts, the NGMA, and the National Portrait Gallery, London among others.

| Fendi has teamed with Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Feinstein, Jourdan Dunn and Leandra Medine on a new charity project that will mark the official inauguration of the brand’s newest flagship on Madison Avenue in New York.
Fendi has asked the five women to personalize their own 3Baguette handbag — a style launched at the end of last year that reinterprets the Fendi accessory with a more structured shape and the FF logo becoming a lock rather than simply a decorative element. Parker, Rihanna and Feinstein have also designed micro-baguette models. The bags will be unveiled at a cocktail party at the new store on Feb. 13 hosted by Karl Lagerfeld, Silvia Venturini Fendi and chairman and chief executive officer Pietro Beccari.
http://www.kissydress.co.uk/black-prom-dresses-online
The bags will be on display at the New York unit from Feb. 13 to March 13 and available for purchase at the same time through a dedicated online auction site, which Fendi is launching at the end of this month.
Proceeds will be channeled to charitable organizations selected by each woman. Rihanna proceeds will benefit The Clara Lionel Foundation, which she founded in 2012 in honor of her grandparents, and which works to improve the quality of life for communities globally in the areas of health, education, arts and culture. Parker’s designs will benefit The Brain Trauma Foundation, while Dunn’s are aimed at The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America. The Man Repeller’s Medine will support the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and Feinstein has chosen to help the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
“The Fendi customer is active in different fields and engaged socially,” Beccari told WWD, explaining the diversity of the five artists. “There is not only one kind of woman and they are each excellent in their own field,” he noted, underscoring the personal relationships forged with Venturini Fendi. “It’s a celebration of femininity. After all, think of the five [Fendi] sisters. Karl and I are like brothers surrounded by all these women.”
The executive highlighted how personal the project was. “They had free rein, choosing their favorite colors, favoring their own personal tastes. It also shows that nothing is impossible with the incredible artisans at Fendi,” claimed Beccari. As an example, he cited Feinstein’s “work of art, similar to the Pompeii mosaics,” referring to the artist’s design, featuring different genres of fish.
Asked to explain the ongoing success of the Baguette, he said it “is a fantastic creative outlet in its essence and is easy to adapt to different styles. It’s perfectly in line with the more personal taste that is emerging today. The uniqueness, the differentiation, the variations and the customization perfectly symbolize the current trend.”
The new Peter Marino-designed flagship opened at the end of November. Speaking of the opening event, Beccari said “it had been a while” since the last big event in New York. “It’s a market that is greatly picking up for luxury. We are very happy with its performance and this is our homage to the relevance of this market now and in the future.”
Fendi last year launched a similar charity project to mark the opening of its London flagship collaborating with the likes of Tracey Emin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Zaha Hadid and Jerry Hall, who customized the brand’s women’s Peekaboo handbag, raising funds for the London and Bristol-based Kids Co.

| A Hasidic newspaper has come under fire for removing images of women, among them female world leaders, from the photo chronicling Sunday, January 11\'s historic march across Paris expressing solidarity after the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
JoeMyGod reports that despite the fact that there were more than 40 world leaders present, "you\'d believe that none of them were women" after reading the article and seeing the photo on the front page of Israeli Haredi newspaper The Announcer, originally provided by the wire service GPO.
The article identified that one woman\'s face was blurred out, as well as missing leaders Denmark Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Oh hell no; Merkel don\'t play that!
http://www.kissydress.co.uk/black-prom-dresses-online
Mediaite later amended the article to reveal that it was not Demark\'s PM that was cropped out, but a puffy coat-wearing Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
"She\'s an extremely important figure in European politics -- her position places her in charge of the EU\'s foreign policy -- but she\'s still a woman, so no, she doesn\'t get to be in the photo," wrote Mediate, adding, "Merkel is still missing, please let us know if you find her."
They even made a possible identification for the blurred-out photo, saying it might be "Swiss President Simonetta Sommaruga, whose face can be seen in the original photo but is missing from the edited image."
The article pointed to the fact that this misogyny even trumped religious animosity, as, "Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is still in the photograph, Photoshopped standing right next to French president Francois Hollande, and one person away from Israeli prime minister and frenemy Benjamin Netanyahu."
Mediaite also castigated the publication for its sloppy Photoshop efforts, saying "We have seen quite a few shops in our time, but this photo manipulation is pretty sloppy, if you know what to look for. Here are five clear giveaways:
1: Discoloration of man\'s face
2: World leader wearing a leather glove on one hand and no glove on the other hand
3: Mysterious hand of Federica Mogherini
4: Blurry face of man standing behind where Merkel used to be
5: Uh...that\'s not a Photoshop, that\'s a monster."
Good to know that an underlying, widespread disregard for half the human race still trumps the hatred of homicidal terrorists.

| What do Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Norah Jones and Sarah Ferguson have in common? For the red carpet, they all favoured dresses by the occasion-dress label, Theia. The designer behind Theia is Kerry-born, New York-based designer Don O\'Neill.
What I have learnt about Don O\'Neill is that not only is he a deceptively good designer for women, but he is also passionate about Ireland, and supporting young talent. When people speak of Don, they say, "he\'s such a nice guy" and it\'s true. The fact that he is all about making a woman look beautiful, explains why he is fast becoming so popular with the celebrity set.
"When a woman wears a dress that makes her feel wonderful, an inner glow becomes apparent," Don tells me. "For me, it is not about it being my dress. It is important for her to feel like a goddess, and that beautiful inner light that comes on when she is happy. That is what it is all about."
http://www.kissydress.co.uk/blue-prom-dresses-online
Over the years, Don noticed that Theia occasion dresses were being bought by women to wear for their wedding. Theia bridal was born after one season in particular, when all his buyers asked him to make one style in white satin.
"That was how that whole idea started. From that one dress," Don laughs. "We started out in our living room here, in my home, with individual appointments. We did it like a private couture showing. As time went on, it evolved and got bigger and bigger, and before we knew it, we were doing a proper full runway show."
Theia bridal collection is shown during the New York Bridal Fashion Week and is sold around the world. Here, it is solely available from Folkster, in Dublin. The collection on our pages is for next autumn, which is ordered by brides now.
When Don says \'we\', that means not only his design and production team, but also his life partner, Pascal Guillermie, who has been at Don\'s side since his early days in Paris. Don worked for Christian Lacroix (he of Ab Fab\'s line: "It\'s Lacroix, dahling"). Lacroix was fashion royalty in the 1980s and 1990s and Don adored him.
"It is because of Mr Lacroix that I am in New York today," he says. "They were giving away visas and I applied for one and got it. I didn\'t know what to do and Mr Lacroix asked a fortune-teller about me and he said I had to go. So I did."
Theia bridal is a romantic, yet utterly contemporary bridal collection. Luxurious fabrics and details, textures and embellishment, feature subtly in Theia\'s beautifully simple silhouette.
"My time at Lacroix would have influenced my notions of beading and embellishment and couture luxury," Don says. "But always, always, I want women to feel beautiful. To feel like the goddesses they are."
Which is every bride\'s dream.

| Treatment combining low-dose chemotherapy and the targeted drug trastuzumab showed promise in women with early stage breast cancer of a type called HER2-positive, US researchers said Wednesday.
Women receiving the treatment were highly unlikely to see their cancer return, said the study in the New England Journal of Medicine analyzing a regimen that including the chemotherapy agent paclitaxel and the targeted drug under the brand name Herceptin.
Three years after completing the combination therapy, "98.7 percent of the participants were alive and free of invasive breast cancer," said the study led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Massachusetts.
The phase II trial involved 406 women whose tumors were smaller than three centimeters and had not spread to their lymph nodes. They were treated with the drug combination for 12 weeks, followed by nine months of Herceptin alone.
"Women with small, HER-2 positive, node-negative breast tumors have a low, but still significant, risk of recurrence of their disease," said the study\'s senior author, Eric Winer, director of the Breast Oncology Program at the Susan F Smith Center for Women\'s Cancers at Dana-Farber.
http://www.kissydress.co.uk/long-prom-dresses
"This study demonstrates that a combination of lower-intensity chemotherapy and trastuzumab - which is associated with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy regimens - is an appealing standard of care for this group of patients."
Approaches to treating women with HER2-positive breast cancer - which means their cells have extra human epidermal growth factor receptors on their surface - have varied widely but often involve a stronger regimen of chemotherapy with adriamycin and cytoxan followed by paclitaxel and trastuzumab, researchers said.
Until now, Herceptin has been recommended mainly for women with larger tumors, or who are at greater risk of metastasis. Some of the reported side effects have included heart and lung problems and fatal infusion reactions.
Charles Shapiro, co-director of Dubin Breast Center, The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, said the latest research raises new questions.
"Three years of follow-up is short, and time will tell if there are late recurrences," he said.
"The take-home message is that, for this group of women with Stage I HER positive tumors, the short outcome is exceeding favorable, and this was achieved using a 12-week course of Taxol. Based on these results the next question is could we eliminate the chemotherapy?"
The research was funded by Genentech, the pharmaceutical company that makes Herceptin, and the breast cancer foundation Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
